    Hot Tent in Lightening Storm

    There always a risk outdoors. You have the right mind set. What is most relevant is where your tent is located. I wouldn't worry about metal. Most think metal attracts lighting and that's a myth.

    Backpacking Sleep System

    Don't forget a pair of crocs. Amazing to take the boots off after a long pack in or out.

    Thanks. I only plan to use the bivy when needed. i.e. An unexpected snow storm or caught out in a bad storm or I just cant get warm. Are you putting down Tyvek under the your pad? or in the SO shelter?

    Time for new sleep system. Quilt+Bivvy+Floorless shelter?

    So far here is what I'm thinking, Quilt- So I got a quote for a El Coyote quilt. I think I will head that direction for the quilt. Pad- I'm going to upgrade my R-value with a Xtherm pad. Shelter- I'm thinking the Guardian or Cimarron SO shelter with a stove jack. Bivy- I'm thinking OR bivy...

    Thanks for the feedback. I based my pack size off what I thought was reasonable for a 3-6 day hunt, and also if I wanted use it as a day pack. I did several weighted rucks with it to ensure comfortably and to familiarize my self with it. So I had a KUIU 5900 icon and sold it soon as I got back...

    MeatEater season 11 drops 10/26 but only on their site

    I actually did a search on this forum after I wrote that. He's a rokslider and I'll be dammed he's been a member for 12 years. Blown away haha. I been telling all my buddies about him and his YT channel. He's more known than I thought. I found his YT watching some of my other hunting shows.

    MeatEater season 11 drops 10/26 but only on their site

    Meat-eater is okay but...check out a cat named Billy Molls. I've never heard of him until a month ago. He's a guide up in Alaska and release about two decades of hunting footage.

    Just joined a crossfitt gym to prepare for Sept.

    Update. Man, it was best decision I made. My legs were awesome in the mountains this year. First hike was 6 miles in with a 50-60lb pack. No soreness. Feet were a little achy with the weight. I did do several rucks to break in boots prior but I'm guessing my feet are not used the weight on them...

    Anyone else ever get shingles?

    If you think shingles hurt, try racking yourself pole-vaulting. I don't think there any more unbearable pain than that. I'd rather have shingles and a toothache at the same time. That happened over 20 years ago tooo. Stomach still knots up when thinking about it. I have two kids so my theory...

    So on the pack I didn't mention I own a 4800 Exo Mountain /w their K3 frame with a lid. So I actually have around 5200+CU. Honestly I don't want one too much bigger. My direction now is to cut weight and bulk size with my sleep system and my goal will be reached.

    Thanks. My current thermo-rest pad is a prolite, which is only like a 2.4 R value. I will try try to upgrade that R value this year.

    Today I learned I don't know what a 300" bull is

    Great story. Better than most article hunts in a magazine. :) I think you should compile it and send it in.

    I feel with the reflective heat you could do so. Thats my idea anyways.

    I will follow up. If you happen to think about it, snap a pic of the layout when you out in the back country, I would love to see the set up.

    Thanks! I'm thinking a Borah/Down quilt with a Cimarron SO with stove jack incase I need one for late season. Thanks for the feedback.
